John Goodman Hospitalized After Injury on Set of Tom Cruise Film

Veteran actor John Goodman, 72, was recently hospitalized following a hip injury sustained during a rehearsal for an untitled film directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu. The incident occurred at Pinewood Studios in the United Kingdom, leading to a temporary pause in production.

While rehearsing a scene, Goodman slipped and injured his hip. He received immediate medical attention, resulting in a brief delay of the shoot. Production is scheduled to resume next week following his full recovery.

This forthcoming project marks Iñárritu's return to English-language filmmaking since "The Revenant" in 2015. The film's plot centers on a powerful individual who causes a disaster and endeavors to prove himself as humanity's savior. The ensemble cast includes Tom Cruise, Jesse Plemons, Sandra Hüller, Michael Stuhlbarg, Sophie Wilde, and Riz Ahmed.

Earlier this year, Goodman faced personal hardships, including the loss of his Pacific Palisades home in the January wildfires. Despite these challenges, he continues to demonstrate resilience and dedication to his craft.
